Watering

Keep soil evenly moist, sheltered from drying winds

Fertilizing

Slow release tree feed in spring

Pruning

Little pruning is needed. Remove diseased, damaged, crowded or crossing shoots and unwanted growth. Timing depends on the plant: generally late winter or early spring; plants prone to bleeding and deciduous magnolias need different timing, and deciduous azaleas and lilacs are pruned after flowering.

Propagation

Propagate by seed or by grafting

Growing

Thrives in moist, humus-rich, well drained soils in full sun or part shade. Some tolerance for drought once established. See tree cultivation for more advice
